“Cradle of the Faith: The Forlorn Sheep”. The roots of the Catholic faith in Ohio began with the persistent requests of Jacob Dittoe for a priest to administer the sacraments to Catholics living in the wilderness near Somerset, Ohio. Archbishop John Carroll S.J. of Baltimore answered those requests by sending Father Edward D. Fenwick O.P., who offered the first Mass in Jacob Dittoe’s log cabin in September 1808 and who dedicated St. Joseph Church, Ohio's first Catholic church at Somerset on December 6, 1818. Peter Thomas and William Noll, will jointly present the story of how the Catholic faith took root in Ohio. Peter Thomas, a direct descendant of Jacob Dittoe, is the caretaker of the First Mass Memorial site and is promoting the cause for sainthood for Father Edward Dominic Fenwick, O.P. William Noll is the principal and administrator of Holy Trinity schools in Somerset. Sponsored by the Catholic Record Society, the presentation will occur at the Catholic Foundation, 257 East Broad Street in Columbus on Sunday, March 26, 2023. Doors will open at 1:30 p.m. and presentation will begin at 2:00 p.m. All are welcome. For more information, please contact Record Society Chairman Mike Finn at 614-268-4166 or[email protected].
